i have to say...

show and tell tuesday

Hello, Friends!

It's SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY and I am excited to show you my latest finish!

The quilt measures approximately 38" X 42".  I think it is a nice wallhanging size, don't you?

Please feel free to jump in participate.  A list of guidelines is at the bottom of this post.

I am done with my triangle quilt.  And I really like how it came out.  It crinkled up perfectly after drying too!

I used Rachel's tutorial to cut the triangles.  She really made it simple to cut the pieces without a template.

This was a new color palette for me, and I chose it for a friend who is rather non-girly (no pink!) and is on the modern side of things.  I am pretty sure she is going to like it.

Another triangle quilt might be in my near future.  This is one of those hard-to-give-away creations, for sure!

Hello, Friends! Welcome to Show and Tell Tuesday!

***Guidelines are in this post.

Aubry and I got some sewing time in this week and we managed to finish her quilt top.  She is super excited about it!

She did much of the sewing and all of the choosing of fabrics.  She is redecorating her room, and this goes along with what she wants.

COLOR!

That girl is adventurous!

Hi, Friends!  It's SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY!

And, you are gonna kill me!  I have nothing to show.  I have a friend in from out of town and haven't had time to sew at all.  Things do look promising for later in the week, though.

Please feel free to share your fun projects!  I will try my best to get around to everyone's blog and say "hi"!

Welcome to SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY!    You will find the guidelines in the bottom of this post.

I am still plugging away on my triangle quilt.  Three rows are sewn together and the rest are just waiting to join in!  Somehow I ended up attaching my 3rd row improperly, so that is why there are triangle "wings".  The make the row big enough for the quilt.  

I am hoping to finish this one today.

How about you?  Do you have anything to share?

Hi Friends! It's time to Show and Tell!

This week I actually have a FINISH to show you!  A FINISH!

Sheesh, I have so many things going on in my life right now, that a finish seems amazing.  At least to me.  :)

The baby quilt is done, which is great since baby is over 2 months old already.  Ooops!  

This quilt was so fun to machine-quilt since I did a lot of it on my dream machine!  Surprisingly, it quilted up about in about 30% of the time it takes on my regular machine.  I was so happy about that!

This time I did little loop-de-loops.  They are quick and fun and perfect for baby.

Mom didn't want any pink on baby girl's quilt, so we went bright with added orange for girliness.

The quilt came out quite big--about 50" X 50".

I used my last piece of floral Oh Deer for the backing.  Actually that print was my initial color inspiration.

Ta-da!  That's my finish!  How about you?  Do you have anything to share?

Hello!  And welcome to Show and Tell Tuesday!  (For some reason I can't upload the graphic for Show and Tell.)

This is the place to share any progress on your sewing-related projects.  Just starting? Finishing up?  Link up!

I have made only small progress on my triangle quilt since painting  and doing taxes consumed most of my time.  But it's still progress!

All of my pieces are together, so now I can look forward to sewing the rows up.  And using my new, almost completed, design wall.  Pics to come!

Welcome to Show and Tell Tuesday!

Do you have something to share today?  

Please feel free to any progress you have made so far on a sewing-related project.  Picking colors?  Cutting?  Sewing?  Finishing it up?  Link up here!  This is a great way to encourage each other on towards the finish line!

I have some progress on my triangle quilt.  And I am loving these colors more and more!

Lots of little flags are covering my sewing table.  I always this point in piecing.  It's such a fast progress time!

Unfortunately my sewing machine had to take a trip to the doctor, so my progress is stuck here for a couple of days.  I guess not getting it serviced for years has taken it's toll.  The tension is off and I am sure that it is filled with dust and gunk.  Filled, I tell ya!

As soon as she gets back, I will continue on!

Hi Friends!  It's Show and Tell Tuesday!

Do you have a project--or several--that you are working on?  Are you just starting or are you almost done?  Either way, feel free to link up here.  It's a fun way to visit new blogs, see new projects, and encourage one another.  (Guidelines posted below).

This week I have been working on my triangle quilt and I am happy to say that I have it all cut out. And I love the colors!

This one is a little bit outside of my usual range because I am making it for a friend.  Her taste is a little more modern than mine and she likes darker colors, and I think the above stack fits the bill.  I used Rachel's tutorial to cut my triangles and it was quite simple.  

I love simple!

Here is how the triangles look laid out.  

This weekend I hope to get this quilt all laid out and Aubry's done too.  I will add this to getting the baby quilt done, OK?

I. Can. Do. It.

Yes, I can!

Happy day, friends!

It's Show and Tell Tuesday and that means we can show our stuff!

If you have a sewing project in the works--at any stage--please link up here.  Are you just choosing fabric?  Cutting?  All done?  This is the place!  (Guidelines are posted below).

I quilted some more loops yesterday, but I don't have a picture to share today on that.  But I will show you two quilts that are in the cutting stage.  Am I really starting two more quilts?

The first one is Aubry's quilt (pink, blue, green and purple).  We are going to make Denyse Schmidt's Hop, Skip and Jump quilt.  This is my 3rd making this layout and I love it. It's so simple and it ends up looking very random and scrappy. I am sure I will make good progress on this because Aubry is a little bit impatient.  She won't let me forget this one!

Here is the picture of the quilt we are going for:

My next pile is a quilt for a friend.  She likes non-girly colors and she has a modern sensibility.  What are your thoughts on this stack (I added some more browns for contrast, but they are in the picture)?

I will be using Rachel's tutorial to cut my triangles out.
